Songtexte

There's a Greyhound bus
Leaving the great North West
Taking her tonight
Back down south to Texas
She's been dancing on tables
To pay rent and be able
To just get by and maybe stay clean
Abilene, Abilene
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
Maybe it's better if you get off there
And try to forget everything
Abilene
Staring out the window
At the long cold night
Ahead on the horizon
Is another string of bright lights
But she's dreaming of a man she's going to meet
In a bar on an Austin street
Maybe this one won't be so mean
In a Texas bar
There's a man sitting alone
Thinking of a girl
He swore he'd wait there for
But he's drinking beers and he's feeling old
Remembering every lie he's told
Until he changes his mind and he leaves
